CALIFORNIA GIANT. Our special strain of this favorite 
produces flowers of colossai size, specimens measuring from 
5 to 6 inches across being not unusual. The plants are of 
extremely robust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet, 
and should be placed 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for full 
development. They bear numerous semi-globular, mostly very 
double flowers all of the largest size, making them of great 
value in large beds, borders, ete. Grown under favorable con- 
ditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late au 
tumn. Their long stems make them ideal for cutting.
